Busy-Busy!!

I haven't been able to post much lately because we have been super busy. I feel like we are always 'going, going, going'. Sean has been so cute lately. He is quite fond of repeating after Dan and I so we have to monitor what we say. Neither of us cuss but will say words that we don't want him to say (stupid, crap, etc.) Today in the car I was talking on the phone and I said, "oh geez" which is pretty common for me to say. Sean repeated it all afternoon. He is consistently putting four words together in a sentence. He is becoming more independent and wants to do everything, "meself".

We've always counted on the stairs and he has picked up counting to 13 (the number of stairs). For a long time all he knew was "two, tree, two". Now he is all about "four, five, six seben, hate, nine, ten, eleben". It is really cute. Sometimes he'll have one and want two of something and he'll say "four" because that means two to him. He starts with one but then skips 2 and 3. Sometimes he just skips 3. So, he is making progress. He isn't able to do all of his colors yet but knows what a "color" is. If you ask him he'll tell you a color, just not the actual color! His manners have improved as well. He always (almost!) says "please" and "thank you" and now says, "no thanks" when he isn't interested in trying something or taking something from you. When he is ready to leave he'll also tell you, "yets go" (lets go).

We've also been trying to teach him that his name is Sean. Often when he sees himself in pictures he'll say its "you" because he hears us say that. So, now we say , "it is Sean!". He calls himself, "Snon". I hope that never changes because it is so cute! Wow, that was a lot but since I haven't posted in a while there was a lot to tell!
